The knight can't jump
Sort:
Is there a rule when a knight cannot jump because there are too many figures around?
Yes. In Chinese Chess.
A knight cannot jump if a piece is on its adjacent orthogonal "square".

Are you an advocate for Chinese chess? I see you advertising it all over the site.
Firstly, I answered the question directly.
Secondly, yes. Chinese Chess is closer to the original common ancestor Indian Chess than Western Chess, or chess as we know it today.

I'm pretty sure some real-life knights (horses) are unable to jump when there are too many obstacles around them.

I once tried to replace a knight by the Chinese chess version and the king by the Chinese chess version.
I got checkmated very easily on f7.
Can Knight on c7 take Rock on a8?
